- So ladies and gentlemen, at TED we talk a lot about leadership.
2
and how to make a movement.
3
So let's watch a movement happen start to finish in under three minutes and dissect some lessons from it.
4
First, of course you know, a leader needs the guts to stand out and be ridiculed.
5
But what he's doing is so easy to follow.
6
So here's his first follower with a crucial role.
7
He's going to show everyone else how to follow.
8
Now notice that the leader embraces him as an equal.
9
So now it's not about the leader anymore, it's about them, plural.
10
Now there he is calling to his friends.
11
Now if you notice that the first follower is actually an underestimated form of leadership in itself.
12
It takes guts to stand out like that.
13
The first follower is what transforms a lone nut into a leader.
14
And here comes a second follower.
15
Now it's not a lone nut, it's not two nuts, Three is a crowd and the crowd is news.
16
So a movement must be public.
17
it's important to show not just the leader, but the followers.
18
because you find that new followers emulate the followers, not the leader.
19
Now here come two more people, and immediately after-- Three more people.
20
Now we've got momentum.
21
This is the tipping point.
22
Now we've got a movement.
23
So, Notice that as more people join in, it's less risky.
24
So those that were sitting on the fence before now have no reason not to.
25
They won't stand out.
26
They won't be ridiculed.
27
but they will be part of the in -crowd if they hurry.
28
So, over the next minute, you'll see all of those that prefer to stick with the crowd, because eventually they would be ridiculed for not joining in.
29
And that's how you make a movement.
30
But let's recap some lessons from this.
31
First, if you are the type, like the shirtless dancing guy, that is standing alone, remember the importance of nurturing your first few followers as equals.
32
So it's clearly about the movement, not you.
33
We might have missed the real lesson here, the biggest lesson.
34
If you noticed, did you catch it?
35
is that leadership is over -glorified.
36
that yes, the shirtless guy was first, and he'll get all the credit, but it was really the first follower that transformed the lone nut into a leader.
37
So as we're told that we should all be leaders, that would be really ineffective.
38
If you really care about starting a movement, have the courage to follow and show others how to follow.
39
And when you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first one to stand up and join in.
40
And what a perfect place to do that, at TED.
41
Thanks.
42
you

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语?

在这个 TED 演讲中,Derek Sivers 探讨了如何启动一个运动。在学习英语口语时,观看这样的演讲能够帮助你理解领导与追随之间的动态关系。通过模仿演讲者的语调、节奏和表达方式,你能够在实践中提升你的英语口语练习能力。视频中展现了人们如何从不同行为中得到启发,意味着你也可以通过模仿这些语言特征,来增强自己的口头表达能力。参与这一活动能让你的发音更加自然流畅,从而提高你的整体英语水平。

语法与表达的应用

  • 第一人称复数的用法:视频中提到“it's about them, plural”,这突出了复数形式的用法。在口语交流中,善于使用复数能增强你与他人的联系。
  • 隐喻与类比:演讲中提到“lone nut”和“leader”对比,展示了比喻的力量。这种表达方式能够使信息更加生动,有助于记忆。
  • 召集示例:“calling to his friends”部分传达了如何发起集体行动。在日常交流中,这种召集他人的表达方式也是非常实用的。

常见发音陷阱

在视频中,Derek Sivers 的发音清晰,但对于英语学习者来说,某些词的发音依然具有挑战性。例如,“movement”中的“v”的音可能需要注意,容易被发成“b”的音,导致发音错误。此外,“crowd”中的短音“o”可能会被误读为长音。在练习过程中,可以尝试使用提高英语发音的技巧,如重复练习(shadowing)以及shadow speech,帮助自己掌握正确的发音。

整体而言,通过模仿演讲者的方式,你不仅能够更好地理解情境,还能在语音语调方面获得巨大的提升。通过在这样的shadowing site上进行练习,营造出真实的语言环境,有助于实现语言能力的快速提升。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
